Answer:

  a_k=\left|\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\right|;\text{ is nondecreasing for $k>2$}

  \lim\limits_{k \to \infty} a_k =1

  The series does not converge

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u> ...

  S=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{k=2}^{\infty}{x_k}\\\\x_k=(-1)^k\cdot\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\\\\a_k=|x_k|

<u>Find</u>

  whether S converges.

<u>Solution</u>

The (-1)^k factor has a magnitude of 1, so the magnitude of term k can be written as ...

  \boxed{a_k=1-\dfrac{7}{k^2+4}}

This is non-decreasing for k>1 (all k-values of interest)

As k gets large, the fraction tends toward zero, so we have ...

  \boxed{\lim\limits_{k\to\infty}{a_k}=1}

Terms of the sum alternate sign, approaching a difference of 1. The series does not converge.

The points (2,-5) and (5,r) lie on a line with slope 2. Find the missing coordinate r.
Andrew [12]

Answer: r = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be represented as \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.  Plugging in the following values would provide you with:

\frac{(r)-(-5)}{(5)-(2)} =2

\frac{r + 5}{3}  = 2

r + 5 = 6

r = 1

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate on anything.

What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that passes through (3, -1) and (-1, 5)? y = - 2y = -3x + 7 2x + 3y -
Karolina [17]

The line passing through (3, -1) and (-1, 5) has this slope:

5+1

m = ---------- = -3/2

-1-3

We need to find the y-intercept. To do this, substitute the knowns (-3/2 for m, -1 for y and 3 for x) into the slope-intercept equation:

-1 = (-3/2)(3) + b. Then: -1 = -9/2 + b, and so b = 9/2 - 1 = 7/2.

The desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 7/2.
